Control of liquid crystal pretilt angle using nanoparticles and azo-dye induced alignmentTsai, Yi-tai 02 July 2010 (has links)
This work demonstrates the pretilt angle controllable photo-alignment effect in nanoparticles and azo-dye doped liquid crystal film. Followed by increasing the absorbed azo-dye, the vertical alignment induced by nanoparticles of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) can be changed from high pretilt to low pretilt angle. Competition between the homogeneously aligned azo-dye and POSS-induced spontaneous vertical alignment domain generated the variable pretilt angle. The pretilt angle is a function of the pumping intensity and can be controlled continuously within the range of 0¢X~90¢X. With the sufficient absorption of photo excited azo-dye, The POSS induced vertical alignment can be switch to homogeneous alignment. The pretilt angle and surface energy are also examined to confirm the alignment effect. Both nanoparticles and azo-dye induced vertical and homogeneous alignment are non contact methods, and suitable for low temperature plastic process.

The Study of Laser-Induced Holographic Grating Relaxation in Azo Dye-Doped Liquid Crystal SamplesTu, Che-Chuan 11 July 2002 (has links)
In this study, a high power Q-switch pulse laser has been used as the writing beams. The laser-induced holographic gratings in the DR1-doped liquid crystal samples and the DR1-PMMA polymer thin films were investigated by changing the temperature of samples and the angles of two writing beams. The He-Ne cw laser has been used as a real-time probe beam to detect the first order diffraction signals. Without external field, the gratings are the results of concentrations and diffusions of azo dye isomers. The diffusion model has been utilized to analyze the first order diffraction signals in order to understand the mechanics of gratings and the effect of temperature and angle.

Study of Amorphous ZnO:Al Thin Films by Low-Temperature Sputtering TechniqueYang, Meng-Syuan 04 September 2009 (has links)
Aluminum doped zinc oxide AZO has been studied for 20 years. It can improve thin films¡¦ thermal stability and transparency in visible range .However AZO is not as good as ITO in conductivity and transparency, that¡¦s why the application of AZO is only limited in few fields. This is because the nature limit of ZnO. Because part of doped Al forms Al2O3 instead of sits on Zn sites, that enhances light and carriers scattering and suppresses the optical transparency and electric conductivity. This study is plane to take advantage of amorphous properties, that may be achieved try grown films at liquid Nitrogen temperature, in which the distribution of Al and Zn will be very uniform and the solubility of Al will be high. ZnO:Al thin films is grown on glass substrates at low temperature by Radio frequency magnetron sputtering system. Low-temperature deposition is done in order to deposit amorphous thin films (ceramic targets ZnO contained 2wt.% Al2O3). The Al3+ in place of Zn2+ should be uniformly distributed in the thin films because of amorphous structure. It expects to find the best deposition condition under a fixed target-to-substrate distance (10cm) by varying growth, such as the deposition mode, PF plasma power and working pressure. AFM, XRD (grazing incident x-ray diffraction) and N&K analyzer were used to measure the thin surface morphology, structure, thickness and transmittance, respectively. The colors of the thin films are very different dependent on the modes of deposition. The low sputtering rate by lower RF power and high working pressure is the key to successfully grow amorphous ZnO:Al films.
The amorphous ZnO:Al thin films (a-5) are deposited under 100W of RF power and 50mTorr of working pressure. The transmittance of the assembly of ZnO:Al thin films/glass substrate is the same as glass substrates which inducates the transmittance of films is far above 90%. However, the amorphous ZnO:Al thin films are poor conductor . We also tried to improve it by the post-annealing of ZnO:Al thin films in 2% hydrogen atmosphere. It is found to be not successful.

Decolourization of azo dyes in textile wastewater by microbial processesTürgay, Orcun January 2010 (has links)
<p>Decolorization of Azo dyes in synthetic wastewater composition which is similar to real textile wastewater was carried out by microbial process. Experiments were performed in two continuous systems. Experiments were performed under anaerobic conditions in order to break the nitrogen bond of the azo group (-N=N-). A synthetic dye solution which contained 200 mg/L Reactive Black 5, 200 mg/L Procion Red MX-5B and 1 g/L yeast extract was prepared. In this study, living microorganisms were used to degrade the dyes in wastewater. Rice husks which contain bacteria and fungi were used in the reactors of continuous systems. The parameters tested on continuous system were wastewater composition, the number of reactors, the amount of yeast extract in wastewater composition, the wastewater flowrate, washing the system with wood chips solution, addition of yeast extract solution. Results have shown that increasing the number of reactors, the retention time, the amount of yeast extract and washing the system with wood chips solution had positive effects for degradation of the dyes from wastewater. When the flowrate was increased the retention time has decreased so degradation of dyes has decreased but although the flowrate increased twice, % degradation hasn’t decreased as the same ratio. Therefore this result showed that this process can be worked for faster flowrates. Microbial process is a promising technology which might be used to treat wastewater containing azo dyes with good performance.</p><p> </p>
